17Mar09 NYC: The Council of Fashion Designers of America have announced the nominees for the coveted 2009 awards ceremony. 2009 Womenswear Designer of the Year nominees are our fashion friend (in our head) Marc Jacobs, Narciso Rodrigeuz, Rodarte's Kate and Laura Mulleavy. While we wish all the "otha" nominees well, they can all have a seat because Mr. Marc is going home with this one (fingers and toes crossed). Marc is also a nominee for the Menswear Designer of the Year and will also receive the International Award for his work with Louis Vuitton. We could bore you with the sordid details of naming some of the other nominees, but why - we really just wanted to write about Marc. :) Good luck to all nominees.
The CFDA will dabble with politics a tad bit by honoring First Lady Michele Obama who critics agree is quite the fashionista and have made an impressionable mark in media. We are still ill from that nasty choice of Musty Green during the inauguration and those hideous GREEN flat shoes - wait a minute - ew, we had a flashback. We certainly hope that wasn't the work of a stylist and just a missed mark by Mrs. Obama. We would style you for free Mrs. Obama and then blog about it of course - we do love you! Anyway she made up for it (see picture below) in that beautiful pearl white ball gown by emerging designer Jason Wu who in fact is a nominee for the CFDA's Swarovski Award for Womenswear. Good Luck Jason - we love you too!
